One Futures Bet A Day For NFL Countdown: Most Total Team Points
Team To Score Most Regular Season Points: Kansas City Chiefs
This is a fun NFL Futures bet: the team to score the most regular-season points. I like it despite the Hollywood Brown injury and a potential Rashee Rice suspension. Patrick Mahomes seemed slightly off at times last season, and even the team has playfully jabbed him for it. Mahomes is ready to ascend higher into the G.O.A.T. conversations on his way to a potential third straight Super Bowl.
Chiefs have to be better than last year
Oddly enough the Chiefs were 15th in points scored last year with 371. That’s a far cry from the Cowboys’ league-leading 509 points. Even the Chicago Bears, who many thought had an inept offense last year, scored just 11 less than the Chiefs. However, last year’s hiccups don’t concern me. It was the first time since Mahomes’ career that we saw the defense carry the Chiefs. I don’t think we’re going to see that again.
In the offseason, the Chiefs added Hollywood Brown in free agency. Brown brings not only a veteran presence but a lot of speed. He’s dealing with a tricky injury right now. However, I have faith that he’ll find his way onto the field sooner rather than later. They also drafted the fastest 40-yard dash runner, Xavier Worthy. These two players will be burning down the sidelines.
While they’re burning down the sidelines, that’s going to leave Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice open in the middle all day long. The Chiefs have been throwing the ball deep in practice and in training camp. Even Kadarius Toney is getting involved in trick-passing plays.
Andy Reid is ready to cement his legend as one of the best coaches in the NFL. The Chiefs could become the first team to ever win three Super Bowls, and I think they do it in a dominant fashion.
